Almost disaster.

High winds, rain, cold. Wind blew the aviary off. 4 birds in there not broke. Just bought them few weeks ago. $400. One pied cock {just bought) was out with some of mine. Wife seen him on the lawn. Remarked 'pretty bird.' I looked and figured a goner. Bird is 3 years old. Apparently never been out before at old location. Went out and walked him back towards the loft. He went up and flew, landed back near the loft. few times flying again. Finally propped open racing loft door and managed to walk it in that direction. 2 hours he finally went in. What a relief!!!!! He will be easy to break when he gets a mate.

I would sue the builder "Big time" that built the avairy
Hal . Glad tho you have your pied cock back there etc.

That was some luck for you. Glad you got him back

lucky their hal glad it panned out ok in the end

Great news Halcanada getting the pretty one in and like you say should be easy to break him in fingers crossed

Well aviary back up. All is well. Walking across the loft roof my foot went through. Patched the hole. End of racing will eliminate it.

How did you ever survive to be so old Hal . May just pay next time ??? you get up there, to erect some scaffolding to protect your champs under-neath etc, just in case you go the whole hog & fall right through on top of them all below.
